Group Offers

Special offers for groups – “Gruppenreisen weltweit”Dertour devotes special attention to group and reader tours. In line with the theme of “Discovering countries and other cultures together”, in its adventure travel programme the tour operator offers a wide range of unusual, global group tours that can be undertaken by air, rail and bus.

Our commitment – help for little onesSocial commitment and taking on social responsibility constitute an integral part of our corporate philosophy. For this reason, in the year 2000 the “Good Deed” programme was initiated. Since then the employees who work at the Frankfurt am Main location have been actively involved in it. In the course of the year, funds are raised through a huge variety of individual activities – by employees for employees – also with the support of the company. The recipients of the donations are non-profit organisations in the Rhein-Main region, which is where the head office is located. In order to use those funds to help in a targeted way, the “Good Deed” initiative has been supporting the Child Welfare Association of Frankfurt since 2006. Among other things, the association gives abused or sexually exploited children and teenagers the opportunity to work through and deal with what they have experienced with the help of therapists. This long-term partnership with the Child Welfare Association is aimed at providing sustainable assistance for this urgently needed project.

Furthermore, as tour operators Dertour, Meier’s Welt­reisen and ADAC Reisen also support the battle against sexual exploitation of children in countries that are holiday destinations. As members of the Association of German Travel Agents and Tour Operators (DRV), they have joined forces with the internationally active children’s rights organisation ECPAT to champion children’s rights and fight against sexual abuse. An extensive code of ethics has been agreed upon jointly.
